How to Better Align Professional Services to Customer SuccessGainsight

But those benefits are only available to companies whose ProServ organizations are operating in sync with a company-wide Customer Success mission. If your Services team isn't marching in lockstep with your CS team, you're going to miss out on long-term renewal and expansion opportunities, and worse, you could be working against each other. Get very specific advice for better alignment in this session.
The document discusses the rise of customer success operations (CS Ops) teams at companies. It provides examples of how CS Ops teams can design processes to manage the customer lifecycle and identify customer risks. This involves coordinating cross-functional teams and technologies to improve renewal rates, upsell metrics, and other customer success metrics. The role of CS Ops is seen as analogous to sales operations and is expanding as companies scale their customer success teams.

Many of my friends from industry have asked for my opinion on the economic crisis and its impact on business. My answer to them is that the real problem is that companies simply do not internalise the proper actions to take in order to respond to such a situation.
And rarely is it more critical than in retail business strategy, and the far-reaching implications surrounding the phenomena often known as ‘wallet share’ or ‘share of wallet’.
‘Share of wallet’ is in essence an holistic term capturing the aspect of a retailer’s desire to understand and manage consumer spending, how much they have, and how frequent and recent this occurs. This clearly introduces the aspects of service, proposition, customer loyalty, and internal & external change as strategy components for serious consideration by the senior management team.
This paper seeks to explore these aspects of a Retail business strategy, giving insight and advice for a stronger business strategy in ‘Changing Times’.

At its most basic level of sophistication, a health score can give you the heads-up on at-risk customers, but only as the customer is already in the process of churning. You may be able to make a save, but it may be too late. In order to proactively deliver outcomes at scale, you need to evolve your health score into a predictive model. This isn't a beginner-level health scoring seminar. In this session, you'll learn how to uplevel your processes to ensure outcome delivery at a much higher rate.
How Box Scaled to Millions of Engagements Using Tech TouchGainsight
There's an invisible wall in front of your CSM team. Maybe it's months away, or maybe you're already running into it. But without an army of CSMs (which you can't afford), you'll never get past it—and it's an immovable barrier to your company's revenue growth. As your customer base grows, you have to start automating or you'll never be able to scale. Maybe you have some automated outreach, but the key to lowering your per-CSM customer count is an advanced tech touch system.And that's just the beginning. Automation can infuse predictability, efficiency, and savings into an ad hoc CS organization. Learn how to go beyond one-to-many in this session.
How to Build an End-to-End Process for Defining and Delivering on OutcomesGainsight
When Customer Success has a limited scope at a company, it likewise limits the scope of the outcomes that company can consistently deliver. If the Customer Success begins after onboarding and ends before renewal, what sort of effect can your CSM efforts have on customer outcomes? It's absolutely critical that your success planning strategy encompass the whole lifecycle—end-to-end. And that's just for starters. In this session, you'll learn best-practices methods for understanding customer goals, defining them in concrete terms, and building a scalable strategy to deliver on them.
How to Institutionalize Feedback at Every Stage of Your Customer Journey Beyo...Gainsight
What's the first word you think of when you hear the letters "CX?" Chances are it's "surveys." But a best-practice Customer Experience program is so much more than just surveys. There are a lot of ways to gather accurate, insightful feedback, but there's a right way and a wrong way to get that feedback. There are several advanced tactics that will enable you to bake in feedback across the lifecycle, synchronized to each touch point and interaction your customers have with your company. In this session, you'll get actionable advice to institutionalize this system in your organization.
Science is all about consistency and repeatability. You know that a stone sinks in water because you can drop one in a pool a thousand times, anywhere in the world, and it will never float. Customer Success is a young movement, but we've reached a critical mass of data where we can start to make predictions—and more importantly—prescriptions for what will work for a company and a customer base and what won't work. Learn how the Science of Customer Success has been established and how to get more scientific in your CS strategy.
How to Build a Customer Journey That's Outside-In not Inside-OutGainsight
Here's how most companies used to map a customer journey: They'd start with their initial marketing outreach, advance down the funnel to the signed contract, and then onboard the customer. There would be training, a quarterly or six-month outreach, and finally, renewal or upsell. But think about it: how many of those milestones does the customer care about or even think about? From their perspective, a journey map would look very different. Innovative companies are abandoning this "inside-out" model. Why? Because it doesn't map to how customers actually think or behave. Learn the difference between the old way of thinking and the new "outside-in" way of customer lifecycle management.
